Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!

Welcome to the annual Halloween Spooktacular Banner Hop for Special Needs Children!

I am delighted to participate in this annual hop, sponsored by CardMonkey and with more than 3 dozen other women who have each made at least one Halloween-themed banner that will be donated to hang in the room of a medically-fragile child at Pediatric Specialty Care in Pennsylvania.  If you just happened upon this hop, please go back to CardMonkey's site - Ellen ♥ CardMonkey - http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com/


These children and their families -- and PSC’s staff -- will be thrilled to receive the Halloween banners, to help brighten the season when their friends and siblings will be out trick-or-treating.”


Here is the banner I made that I am sending to a child at PSC:

Here's the panoramic shot:


Here are individual photos:





Here's a video of the pieces that are Action Wobbles:


This Hop is two days (Saturday, September 1 and Sunday, September 2) and I am on day 2 - if you didn't get a chance to hop on Saturday, be sure to go check out the other participants..., and on each day you will see different banners. Be sure to visit on both days to see the truly inspirational work of these generous bloggers, and leave some love (comments) on as many sites as you can – because if you do, you can increase your chances to win some Spooktacular blog candy from these kind sponsors:
